PENSACOLA — A small, Alabama-based Indian tribe that wants to expand its casinos into the Sunshine State might adopt a hardball negotiating stance: Let us offer gambling in a few Florida locations, or we could consider growing and selling marijuana on our property.

It’s supposed to be sovereign land, they shouldn’t have to ask the government permission for squat.
Yep - but then they draw all sorts of state and federal welfare benefits. Can't have it both ways...
No “Federal Treaty” tribal land rights in Florida, as far as I can tell, for that particular group.
